Samsung Lions outfielder Kim Tae-hoon (28) of the Korean pro baseball league will be out of stock. Kim will sign a 100-year-old contract with Han Young-shin, who is one year older, on March 14.
Kim Tae-hoon, who described bride-to-be Han Young-shin as "on my side forever," said, "It was May 3, 2020. I met my girlfriend for the first time at a meeting with my acquaintances, and as soon as I saw her, I fell in love with her at first sight." He added, "At that time, I was in Iksan, Jeollabuk-do, because I belonged to Futures, and my girlfriend was living in Seoul. I confessed that I liked her when I first met her because I felt that I had to hurry up and make a winning move."
Baseball players spend half of the season away from home and the other half at home games. They can go home late at night for home games, but away games are truly a farewell. "The most grateful thing to my girlfriend is that she always cared for me even though a long-distance relationship between Seoul and Iksan would not be easy," Kim said.
After moving to Samsung as a compensation player for Kim Sang-soo (KT Wiz infielder) in December 2020, he showed off his batting average of 314 (three hits in 35 at-bats), three homers, 12 RBIs and six runs at an exhibition game last year. However, he suffered a ligament injury in his right ankle ahead of the opening of the regular season, which prevented him from playing for a while.
He performed well enough to rank No. 1 in the Futures Southern League batting average (.320) this season, but failed to display his abilities properly with four hits, one RBI and two runs from 20 times at bat in the first team stage.
"When I'm tired, my girlfriend always gives me positive energy," Kim Tae-hoon said. "For example, if I don't make it to the first team even after performing well in Futures, I feel like they're giving me time to prepare so that I can do better next year," he said. "If I go to the first team and come down early, they always tell me positive things, saying, 'I must be told to be the batting champion in the second team.' "
She must have felt a greater sense of responsibility to lead a family ahead of her marriage. "I don't know because I haven't had a wedding yet, but I'm sure I'll have a great life," Kim said. "I'll work harder for my girlfriend." "I've seen many cases where things are going well after my marriage, and I think so, too. I'll do my best next year since Samjae is over this year," Kim said.
Kim Tae-hoon, a "preliminary sold-out man," recently received a surprise gift from two female fans. "After moving to Samsung, I have two female fans who are constantly supporting me, and recently, they sent me a gift box and a letter containing a muffler, socks and a mug set to congratulate me on my wedding in advance. I am grateful that he always comes to the ballpark often to support me. My father runs an eel restaurant near Gyeongsan Station, and he often comes to our store," he said.
Looking back on this season, Kim said, "Originally, if I prepare well for the Futures League, I can do well in the first division, but things aren't going as I wanted, so I thought, 'Am I only a player who can communicate with Futures?' Now I have changed my mind. Whether it's the first division or Futures, I will always do my best. I will try my best with the determination that next year will be the last." 토토사이트
Finally, he finished the interview with his voice, saying, "I have to succeed unconditionally. I have a loving family and someone to protect for the rest of my life, so I have to risk my life."
